Co-maintain Reframe
Instead of being one big monolith, Reframe is merely a collection of tools and starters.
Reframe gives you the same guidance and high development speed as a big monolith without being one.
[WIP] This project is work-in-progress. That said, Goldpage and Wildcard are production-ready tools that you can use today.
🛠️ Tools
Do-one-thing-do-it-well tools are the backbone of Reframe. We use React, Node.js, and develop our own:
- Goldpage - Page Builder — create a modern frontend.
- Wildcard API - Functions as API — create an API between your Node.js backend and your browser frontend.
- ProtoDB - A simple filesystem-based database for prototypes and small to medium-sized apps.
- Auto-Deploy - Simple and fully automatic single-machine deployment. [Work-in-progress]
Each of our tools can be used individually and independently of each other.
For a quick start, you can use a starter which pre-assembles a stack for you. You can also assemble a stack yourself. For example, if your company is more experienced with Vue than React, you can use Vue instead of React. If you need mutli-machine deployments, you can use Docker instead of our single-machine deployment tool. If you need to provide an API to third-party developers, you can use GraphQL instead of RPC. Etc.
With Reframe, you own your stack, you keep your freedom.
🚀 Starters
Our starters assemble tools into well-polished scaffolds. We design our starters to be simple and to include only what you need.
- Reframe Proto -
Frontend (React, Goldpage) + Backend (Node.js, Hapi) + API (Wildcard).
Reframe Proto assembles tools for rapid-prototyping. Start building your app today, deliver your first MVP tomorrow, and progressively replace rapid-prototyping tools with entreprise-grade tools as you scale. - Reframe Frontend -
Frontend (React, Goldpage).
If you don't need a backend or you already have one, you can use our frontend-only stack.
Our starters enable you to develop with the same guidance and high development speed as classical frameworks while keeping your freedom.
🔮 Future-Proof
Instead of being a big monolith, Reframe is merely a collection of:
- Do-one-thing-do-it-well tools.
- Starters.
This fundamentally different approach enables:
- Reframe to adopt the technologies of tomorrow.
- You don't need to replace technologies as you scale.
In short, Reframe is future-proof. We call our approach the Zero-LOC framework.
